What Is Witch Hat Atelier About?

“In a world where only witches can cast magic, they must avoid being seen by ordinary people while casting,” Kodansha teases about what to expect from the new Witch Hat Atelier anime. “While Coco does her chores, she daydreams of becoming a witch. When a young witch named Qifrey visits her village, Coco uncovers the ‘absolute secret,’ becomes Qifrey’s apprentice, and begins her studies. This is the story of children who encounter despair, yet reach out toward hope.”

Fantasy anime stories have been a big hit this year already with the likes of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, and this looks like it’s going to keep up those magical world vibes with an entirely new (and different) kind of adventure. It’s a series that fans have been wanting to see being animated, and with the director behind the new Akane-banashi anime and studio behind hits like Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, we could be looking at a big deal here.
